Understanding the levels of hospice care helps families feel informed and supported. The hospice team and physician determine the appropriate level of care based on the patient’s needs. Salus Hospice, serving Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Los Angeles, provides four levels of care that adjust as a patient’s needs change.

Levels are assigned and adjusted by the hospice care team to ensure the right support at every stage.

  • Routine Home Care: Ongoing visits from nurses and aides.

  • Continuous Home Care: Around-the-clock nursing for complex symptoms.

  • General Inpatient Care: Short-term facility-based support when symptoms can’t be managed at home.

  • Respite Care: Temporary relief for family caregivers.

Each level supports comfort, compassion, and quality of life, and the hospice team ensures families receive the right support at the right time.
